Frequently asked questions

How long is a standard escape room?

Most escape rooms give players 60 minutes to solve all puzzles and escape. Some rooms offer 45-minute or 90-minute variants depending on difficulty and theme. This timer uses the standard 60-minute format with a 5-minute briefing where the game master explains the rules, storyline, and any safety information before the clock starts.

Can I display this timer inside the escape room?

Yes — mount a screen or tablet inside the room and run the timer in fullscreen mode. The large countdown display is readable from across the room. The green colour during room time keeps the atmosphere calm, while the red briefing segment clearly signals that the game has not yet started.

What happens when the timer runs out?

When the 60-minute room timer reaches zero, an alert signals that time is up. As a game master, you can use this as the definitive end point or offer bonus time at your discretion. Many escape rooms allow a 5-minute grace period for groups that are very close to solving the final puzzle.
